He is clearly a leader and at the same time, a strong team player. I highly recommend Adam!”  Marjorie Gilberg, Executive Director, Break the Cycle

Tom Dawkins

“Tom is high class, very smart, and a fantastic strategist. His mind is often working at 100 miles an hour, and if you look into his eyes, you can actually see him solving the world’s problems in his head. Tom is one of the best persons to have in a brainstorm session. He is intensely analytical, and really helps bring out the best thinking from those around him. He knows technology, but he also knows society, and it’s a powerful combination. I am grateful to have Tom in my circle.”  Jacob Colker, Executive Director, The Extraordinaries

Being in meetings with Tom on a weekly basis, I grew an appreciation for his command and leadership, his steadfast logic which so keenly and efficiently diagnosed problems, and his good nature which always made him a pleasure to work with.”  Natasha Khan, Global Marketing Intrapraneur, Ashoka

“Tom is an inspiring and motivated activist, entrepreneur, web expert, media-maker, team builder, volunteer coordinator, organiser and all-round communications trouble-maker (when trouble is warranted). He has been a leader in Australian non-profit communications for years, and his projects have achieved greatness despite limited budgets. It’s a pleasure to recommend him!”  Nick Moraitis, Online Director, GetUp

“Tom’s work in establishing Vibewire speaks for itself. He is a young leader with a very wise head on his shoulders, a visionary and a pragmatist at one and the same time. Tom has shown true leadership in engaging youth in the political debate particularly through ElectionTracker. Tom has a very bright future ahead of him – a leader for now and for the future.”   Helen Wiseman, Partner, KPMG

David Grandison

“David is one of the most creative and collaborative producers I have ever worked with. His vision and depth of knowledge of the web and social networking projects makes him unique. He exhibits a great mix of technology, creative understanding and professionalism. His background in education was extremely helpful in effectively linking content with video resources for the web. I was very thankful for the guidance and support David gave me while learning the ropes. He is a terrific team player and I hope I’ll have the opportunity to work with him again.”  Linda Fischl Southworth, Editor, Scholastic

“David is a very talented producer and terrific manager. I think that David’s greatest asset is his tremendous positive attitude. I knew that if I asked David to work on a project that he would accept without hesitation and tackle that project with professionalism and creativity. David was well-informed in “all things Web” and made it a point to share all new developments and research with his team. He is terrific working with clients and with his team. I would recommend David without hesitation.”  Kathy Walsh, Marketing Director, Scholastic

“David has been a great help to me on two different occasions: first when I supported the teachers at Teach For America, and secondly when I worked with the teachers at Achievement First, a network of charter schools. As senior producer of the teacher channel at Scholastic, David cares deeply about helping teachers and giving them the resources and information they need to have success in the classroom. David has always been extremely responsive, friendly, professional, and generous in all of our interactions, and I hope we have the opportunity to work together again, soon!”  Rachel Brill, Operations Manager, Citywide Initiatives, Teach for America
